Early in his career Edward Hopper studied at the New York School of Art, first with its founder, William Merritt Chase, and then with his eventual successor, Robert Henri. During his time there, Hopper witnessed a contentious and very public conflict between these eminent artists that was not just between two men, but between two schools of thought that vied for primacy in the early twentieth century. Both men considered themselves avant-garde and were thought to be radical in their day, but as modernity itself changed, these two men of different generations embarked on a collision course that forced young artists such as Hopper to examine and define their own conceptions of modernity.
